Everything but the Kitchen Sink Salad

To gear up for spring I have been craving light and springy vegetables. This salad just kept growing as I was digging through the refrigerator. I started with baby spinach and then I added the left over mango from breakfast (I would hate for it to go to waste), I love dried cranberries in salad so I grabbed a handful and tossed them on and I have some Philbert's in the freezer that are in danger of going rancid, I toasted a handful of them and added that to the salad, I then notices a few grapefruit sections. hummmmm what else was in that fridge, oh, oh some avocado and look cucumbers. ok, ok I have to stop so I blended up a little low sugar cherry jam with some raspberry vinaigrette that I don't care for and it tasted great the jam balanced the vinegar in the vinaigrette perfectly and was great over all those veggies.

This Was a Great Salad.

Clean the fridge salads are the best as they get rid of the guilt feeling of tossing away good food and they taste so darn good!
